Craighead Forest Park/Pictures

We met local photographer, Lindsey Turner for pictures tonight. They were rescheduled from April 16th and were supposed to be "easter pictures" but because it was so cold and yucky that Saturday she decided to do them today which was the first sunny, non-rainy day we have had in a while! I haven't seen them yet, but I'm sure she got some good ones, despite Stratton's uncooperative mood! He didn't want any part of standing where she wanted him to, or smiling at her! I think she might have gotten a smirk or two, but not a full out smile. After our session with her, we took Stratton down to the water and park, which he really liked. He loved the playground with all the slides and steps. We will be taking him back!

More Easter

After Church at Hickory Ridge we went back to my mom and dad’s for Easter dinner and we also had Brandye’s birthday. Mom tried to take some family pictures of us, but that’s not easy. Stratton will not be still, will not smile and basically won’t cooperate on any level!

Can you see the look on my face- I think I was gritting my teeth!

Now, look at Stratton’s face- familiar??

What is it with boys and sticks??

Finally a big smile! Too bad we were in the garage!

After lunch and Brandye’s birthday, we played outside and hunted eggs again.

I guess he thought he found a giant egg!

Easter Morning!

The Easter Bunny came and left goodies at Pops and Gigi’s house! Stratton must have know, because he woke up at 6:30 and he NEVER gets up that early at their house! He got lots of fun stuff and a “Potty Book”! He was most excited about the candy though. He keep bringing me the egg with the Reeses bunny and saying “Num-Num!”, so he had ONE. And he still slept through church!
